The Lord is good

It was 11 months since my last post, I should have thank the Lord earlier. In July, I was posted to a school that is only a road junction away from my home. God heard my prayer and I was posted to a school that is so near to my home! In August, I pass my Grade 5 violin exam. It is my 1st violin exam and I want to thank God for giving me a good and patient teacher. In November, I received 2 good news. Not only I had passed my Grade 6 theory exam with Merit, I was giving a place in NIE. 

A peasant surprise for my GEO appointment briefing today

My 1st thought was to give thanks to God! What a pleasant surprise! I thought my salary might be lower compared to my current AED job, as I am untrained. Neither would I thought that there would be a huge jump. As I received the appointed letter, I see God's favour upon me! All glory, honour and praise be unto Him again!

1st Thanksgiving for 2016

I thank God that I am reminded to give thanks. I had been slacked these few years. I shall start off with the 1st thanksgiving for the year. Thank God for answering my prayer for granting me admission to MOE to be a Music Teacher. It is somehow like a dream come true. 

My childhood dream is to be an architect but as I grew up my dream job change. At first, I thought i would be in the IT line, therefore I studied Multimedia Computing. However when I started to have a feel of how it is like to be a software engineer, I detested it! Neither did I realise that what I had studied got me into the job of being a Multimedia Educator much later! That job lasted for four years plus, then I slowly realised that I began to love teaching. After three failed attempts in applying to be a teacher, I realise that I need a degree and the necessity to upgrade myself. For five years of studies, I finally graduated with a bachelor by God's grace.

The thought of being a teacher never left me. I decided to apply for teaching in August 2015. To my surprise, there is an option to be a Music teacher! Being someone who loves Music deeply, I would love to teach my passion. After months of praying and waiting finally I received the letter on 11th January 2016! I am accepted by MOE! All praise and glory be to God above! I don't know about tomorrow, but I know who holds tomorrow, who hold my hands! God please help me to be a godly teacher.
